The updated guidance can be found here:
Dave McCready, CEO said: 'We are delighted to report that Keyingham Primary School has joined The Consortium Academy Trust (TCAT). We have worked with the school staff, parents and the Local Authority over the last three months to prepare the school for conversion to an academy and we are confident that under the leadership of Victoria White the new academy will go from strength to strength over the coming years.
The poor Ofsted outcome of March 2019 impacted across the whole community and it is our responsibility, as a Trust, to work together to ensure that the pupils currently at the school, and those who join in the future, receive the best possible education in a safe and stimulating environment that motivates and encourages them to do their very best in order to achieve their personal goals.
We recognise the faith that the Regional Schools Commissioner has invested in our Trust in deciding we had the experience and expertise to lead the school forward into a brighter future. We look forward to repaying his faith, and that of parents and the local community, over the coming years.'
Our academies, and all East Riding schools, are actively monitoring the situation around the coronavirus (COVID-19) and are acting on any advice given by Public Health England and specific advice provided for schools by the Department for Education.

Things have been changing in a local primary academy. After being placed into ‘Special Measures’ by OFSTED in December 2016 with SAT results around 30% below the national average and in the bottom 10% nationally for progress, a turnaround has taken place. Croxby Primary, which is now part of ‘The Consortium Academy Trust’ (TCAT), has been on an exciting journey over recent years.
Kerry Mason, Assistant Headteacher for Teaching and Learning says ‘Since the Trust has taken over we have overhauled the curriculum at Croxby. We introduced a ‘Croxby Way’ curriculum which focuses on the skills and knowledge Croxby children need.’
We are delighted to share with you the first edition of News@TCAT which will become a regular update, featuring news from the Central Services Team at the Trust and stories from across our academies.
On 1 September 2019 Winifred Holtby Academy joined The Consortium Academy Trust. Chief Executive Officer Dave McCready said ‘We are delighted to welcome Winifred Holtby Academy to the Trust and look forward to building on the excellent partnership that we’ve built over recent years.’ Mark Brown, Headteacher at Winifred Holtby said ‘I am delighted that Winifred Holtby is now a full member of The Consortium Academy Trust and I am confident that we will continue to strengthen and improve our provision, in partnership with other academies and colleagues within the Trust. Joining TCAT will mean that our staff can work collaboratively across the schools to develop teaching and learning and to further enhance the curriculum.’
We are delighted that our class of 2019 have sustained our very positive trajectory in terms of progress and outcomes at GCSE. It was hugely exciting to share their fantastic results at our breakfast session this morning, along with parents and staff who joined us for the celebrations. There were some superb individual performances as well as some outstanding subject-level results. We feel tremendous pride and cannot wait to welcome back so many of our class of 2019 into our 6th form in September.
Our improving outcomes each year are a positive reflection of the increasingly effective work that Holderness Academy staff are contributing. The students are embracing the evolving culture and their extraordinary efforts, regardless of the challenge, are resulting in individual success. We are extremely proud of the achievements of our students with many being able to access our successful Sixth Form College to begin their Post 16 pathway.
There were a large number of individual success stories, notably;
James Wilson, who achieved a fantastic nine Grade 9s and a Distinction*
Thomas Stephenson, who achieved five Grade 9s, two Grade 8s and a Grade 7.
Ethan Gollings, who achieved four Grade 9s and six Grade 8s.
We are delighted to have welcomed them all into our Sixth Form.
Wolfreton’s Headteacher Susanne Kukuc said ‘We are pleased to be celebrating some impressive results with our young people in both GCSE and vocational courses this morning. Hard work and commitment over a long period has delivered many individual successes and we congratulate our students for this.’
